Sermon Series

Where Christ and His work are exalted, and where that love is known and experienced, it is freely given and you know you are in a faithful church. Out of that knowledge of Christ and His Word, the character and work of the church flow. In a faithful church, with faithful teaching and obedience, one of the key distinctions that will be visible on the inside and outside is unity.
Jesus elevates marriage in the Sermon on the Mount and in Matthew 5:31-32 we see that clearly. Some might look at His statement in this passage and wonder how He could permit divorce for any reason, but as we look more closely we see how Jesus was really speaking in such a way as to limit divorce dramatically.
